  • Italy's famous city of Venice is trying a new scheme to reduce overcrowding.
    It's charging 5-dollars for those who want to visit on busy days.
    The tax is the first of its kind in the world, but not everyone is happy.

      thats kind of the idea, less tourists but the ones that come are the ones that are actually willing to spend the money

      Sounds smart to me. Imagine how easy it would be to narrow down suspects in a crime, for example.

    the world has been ruined in just 40 years.. actually 35 years Id say.. from 1990 the world changed too quickly..
    and now ITS ALL ABOUT GREED!!!!!!!!!! MONEY!!!!!!!!! franchises, forcing cities and countries to confirm to ONE style..
    its a shame.. the young people today we will never get to see living cities as they were...
    now, they will come to famous old beautiful cities and be forced to shop at brand stores.. eat factory made food, factory made coffee, and franchised food.
    welcome to the 21st century... imagine how asia, europe is gonna look in 100 years from now...
    bascially an American shopping mall..
